    Abstract

    We dene a notion of inversion valid in the general metric space setting. We establish several basic facts concerning inversions; e.g., they are quasimöbius homeomorphisms and quasihyperbolically bilipschitz. In a certain sense, inversion is dual to sphericalization. We demonstrate that both inversion and sphericalization preserve local quasiconvexity and annular quasiconvexity as well as uniformity.
